The honey bee population in holdings is recorded at year-end. The list presents data for the Russian Federation, federal districts, and individual constituent entities, such as the Belgorod Region. The statistics cover the period from 2022 to 2023 and allow for tracking changes in the stock of bee colonies in organizations across the country, as presented in agricultural status bulletins
Chart of the number of honey bee colonies in Russian agricultural organizations for 2022 and 2023
Rosstat data for 2022–2023. Rows: 78, periods: 2. Breakdown by positions: Russian Federation; Central Federal District; Belgorod Region; Bryansk Region; Vladimir Region and others
Russian Federation: indicator grew from 48 184 to 48 658 for 2022–2023 — by 0.98%. Of the 20 largest rows, 7 increased, 13 decreased
Rows in the list are organized by territory, allowing for a comparison of the total number of bees nationwide with indicators for specific federal districts or regions. This breakdown helps identify which parts of Russia have more developed beekeeping in the agricultural sector. The data enables comparison of the national total with the results of individual regions over a two-year period
What is visible in these numbers
Five largest values: Russian Federation (48 658), Central Federal District (3 695), North-Western Federal District (1 376), Moscow Region (710), Smolensk Region (506). Gap between the largest and smallest — by 3 244 times. The top five account for 93.3% of the total across all positions — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, the dataset contains 2 periods. Of 50 possible values, 50 (100%) are filled — almost no empty cells remain
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period
2022 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur

This information is relevant for analyzing the state of beekeeping in the agri-industrial complex for 2022 and 2023. Data is updated annually and may be useful to agricultural specialists, agronomists, and representatives of beekeeping associations. Rosstat data reflects the actual situation regarding the stock of colonies in large agricultural organizations
How it is calculated
This year’s harvest and livestock numbers determine next year’s procurement prices: processors need such rows earlier than supplier price lists
